It comes after unimpressed viewers of Michael McIntyre’s Big Show said they ‘switched off’ during the second episode last week.
The comedian, 47, returned to TV on Saturday night with his series which featured TV personality Bradley Walsh in one segment.
Michael woke up the 63-year-old host of The Chase in the middle of the night for his The Midnight Gameshow.
This week the unexpected star of the show was mother of two and singing enthusiast Sarah, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2012
During the show, she thought she was going to a Country Western bar, but actually took the stage for Michael McIntyre’s Big Show, where she was surprised by LeAnn.
Viewers at home were left in tears at the emotional scenes on stage
Some claimed to be “turning off” the program, while others seemed annoyed that Bradley was “on every show at this point.”
One viewer said: ‘When I watched about two minutes of that Michael McIntyre show I immediately had to turn the volume down and then the whole TV turned off.’
Another asked: “Is there a show that Bradley Walsh says he won’t appear on?”
A third wrote: ‘Bradley Walsh is even on Michael McIntyre’s Big Show. Arghhhhhhhhh.”
A fourth said: ‘Ugh not Bradley again, I’m switching off.’
One fan agreed, saying: “Third show tonight with Bradley Walsh. Is there a 3 for 2 going on somewhere?!”
However, others were happy to see him on the show, with one writing: ‘Bradley Walsh is a national treasure.’
During the segment where Michael burst into Bradley’s hotel room at 1 a.m., he asked the TV host a series of questions that had previously appeared on The Chase.
